My Wheelchair

The day my life changed in one moment just one cursed moment, time betrayed An injury they said would now never heal a quadriplegic ,waist down you're dead. vibrant colors blurred into onyx darkness crippled and chained , I lay, caged in bed in a dark ocean of helpless emptiness sinks a heavy sack, but floats suffocated squirmy eyes lift a burden , is it pity I see? my warped desires , waiting to get rusted. In sky of mind, fantasy of broken wings adieu O snowfields, where once I danced. adamant heart behind a ribcage pounds, gazing windows with glossy barren eyes. numbed screams fade in garbled speech, in my soundproof tavern, no will to live but tears attenuated , I slowly prepare Bon Voyage, attuned to my wheelchair. 29th March 2020 Sponsor Caren Krutsinger Contest Name The Day My Life Went Whacko
